Pudding Machine Yells at Kids - Loves Adults
Jell-O's Temptations dessert is being marketed to adults and this vending machine has built-in face recognition to check the age of anyone who approaches so if you're a kid - it says, "NO PUDDING FOR YOU!" We're not sure what is says but first developed by Intel, the dispenser uses facial data, like the size of your eyes and their distance apart, to figure out how old you are.The device does not take or store photos, but of course does give out pudding.

Holiday Gift Pick: Inflatable Turkey Saves Cooking Time
If you're looking to save on cooking time, and you think you're turkey cooking efforts could be easier then this Inflatable Turkey looks so delicious you can almost smell the stuffing when you blow it up and impress your guests. Keep the carving knives away, because this bird is strictly for show and made of hot air (so you'll need to serve something else). It will fit right on the table carving plate as well while you cook a real bird.

LED Classic Three Light Puck Under Cabinet Light Kit from the CounterMax
We don't even have a kitchen lighting category after 7 years here at Kitchen Contraptions, yet lighting in our kitchen has been a constant thing on our minds. We recently replaced our flood lights with LEDs so we have been now looking to get those same lower watt savings in our under cabinet lights.
The CounterMax MX-LD Collection led discs mount easily under any cabinet and can link up to 30 discs without additional hardware using MXInterLink2. The LED disc uses only 1.7 watts (our flood lights use 10.5 watts versus our the older 65 watt per), and each kit includes three light down lighting pucks.
We're going to see if these fit the bill, and also look out for other under cabinet solutions. What's interesting is you could get 10 of these kits and string them together making a pretty good run at one side of our kitchen and the other using about 10 kits.
